When your son wants to go to Pizza Hut for lunch and you are on a diet! 🙈 #GettingFit
Watch the ‘S’ in the middle change to ‘N’ as we cross the equator from the Southern Hemisphere to the North. Very slight variation in when each piece of navigational equipment displays the transition as they only update the position on the display periodically not continuously. #A380 @british_airways @airbus #basmart
Africa certainly knows how to brew a thunderstorm! Look at the size of those things on the weather radar. We eventually routed around 80 miles west of our original planned track to keep things as smooth as possible. #A380 @british_airways @airbus #basmart #thunderstorm
Where am I flying to next month? Who knows??!! I am on reserve so it could be anywhere on the #A380 network. 21 days of possible surprises!. . This can, of course, be a good thing and a bad thing. It’s good because it’s interesting and you don’t know where you are going and who you are flying with, possibly until the day you are called in to fly. But it also means you can’t really plan to do very much at home.... . Reserve works by giving a block of guaranteed days off followed by 21 days where you are available to work. So let’s see where I end up! 😄✈️
First Instagram TV video posted! Timelapse video of #A380 flight from @heathrow_airport to @flysfo in just 4 minutes! Go and have a look 😄👍🏻✈️ #BASMART @british_airways @airbus #britishairways #airbus #A380 #viewfromtheflightdeck #timelapse #pilotsofinstagram
The winner of the Takeoff Weight competition was @olliehutt_ 😄👍🏻 Well done! The actual weight of the aircraft was 504200kg and Ollie was closest at 504500kg. . Thanks to everyone who took part. It looks like it was a popular competition so look out for more in future! 😄👍🏻✈️. . Also thanks to @airbus for the goodies! #BASMART #britishairways @british_airways . . @olliehutt_ can you please DM me your address so I can send the stuff to you? 👍🏻✈️
Not a bad view from the gym.... Might have to make use of that pool later 😄 Now, let’s get this rowing done.... #Time2GetFit #AltitudeTraining #johannesburg
The LEFtenant, G-XLEF #A380 having just parked at @or_tambo_international_airport . We conducted a practice autoland today on Runway 03R in order to allow it to be upgraded to automatic landing capability in foggy weather. Pleased to say it did a superb job! Very smooth. 😄👍🏻✈️ #britishairways @british_airways @airbus #airbus #basmart . . Now I just need to go through all the entries in the takeoff weight competition and discover who has won all the goodies! 😄😄😄😄😄😄
Here is the route for our 10h30m flight to @or_tambo_international_airport Johannesburg this evening. BA55. G-XLEF #A380. Have a look at my previous post if you haven’t entered the takeoff weight competition yet.... 😄👍🏻 See you in the morning South Africa! 😄✈️👍🏻 #britishairways #basmart
